Available December 8, 2017 - April 8, 2018

Smugglers' big mountain playground offers lots of opportunities to rip it up on anything from groomed intermediate trails to triple black diamond steeps, glades, and terrain parks for all ability levels. Our Notch Squad groups don’t stand around talking about skiing and riding; your time is spent doing it, with coaching from our staff that will step your game up to the next level. Never skied or snowboarded before? No problem. Our programs will get you on the right track and have you feeling comfortable skiing or riding our green terrain in a matter of days - maybe intermediate blues too! With our all-day Notch Squad Camp, you may end up exploring Sterling and Madonna by the end of the week! You may also want to consider the benefit of receiving a private lesson.

Flaik GPS units are included in all-day ski and snowboard camp programs for tracking vertical, mileage and speed! Also, beginning snowboarders will be set up with Burton
Learn to Ride equipment. Beginners will enjoy the best possible introductory experience by combining this specially designed equipment with the teaching expertise of Smugglers' SSU professionals.
